Re: Physio treatments in London to Donna

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna.

Happy Easter!

Welcome to your new home!

All the Very Best Wishes to YOU and ALL the FAMILY!!

Now regarding your email and phisio and others things...

My hips pain, still really very bad.

Today, I left home to go to the gym ....and could not do it after

all.

Decided to came back home afterwards. Felt so BAD!

I could reached the bus stop but with a lot of difficulties...

The pain and discomfort was a lot and my walking has been very slow

and bad too.

Felt like if my hips has being dislocated somehow and my legs was

shaken at all times, particularly my calves muscles ( on the back of

my legs)

The gait is very bad and it feels like moving from one side to the

other...giving way...like if it is loose inside.

I have no control of my hips while walking...and the strength to

walk causes even more pain inside. Bursitis, Tendonitis and artrose

( osteo arthritis) it was what the doctor in Brazil told me from

the MRI, that is what it is!!!

I feel very upset emotionally and physically right now.

I didn't go the gym since last Monday, and I do know how important

is to do my exercises.

I have a friend who is physiotherapist and she told me to do some

exercise every day...in my time...of course!

I have been doing exercises at home for a while,I've tried my best

mean while...

I do 5 km with my exercise bike at home and that is all at the

moment for me.

I have been taking also a pain killer every night but right now I am

quite scare because I never being so bad like this before.

I really wish someone could help me because I can not continuing

like this. If I only knew that a hips surgery would make me feel

better , I would be prepared to do so tomorrow!

I need to wait to see the orthopedist ASAP and you know how long

sometimes does take to see one, even privately!!.

Anyway, tomorrow will be another day, hopefully I will go to the gym

and do the treadmill for 10 minutes, at least I hope!

Thanks a lot for your email Donna.

Have a Great Time in your new home ok?

Take Care

Chelsea and Westminster should be good too.

the gym. Then I went to the gym and got a personal consultation that

then I told them what the physio said and they gave me a good

programme. But what I need is the personal training at the gym -

with a trainer that specialises in physio. They have one at my

Holmes Place. That is my next step - once the disruption from the

home move stops that is.

> My home move is amazing. I am scared a bit as there are so many

stairs! And the stairs are really old and wood - causing slips

already for a few people I know. I am thinking of getting indoor

UGG boots with rubber soles so that I feel more stable - and my feet

stay warm! I will adjust, but I never thought my CMT would make me

scared of my new house!
